Thus, it is predominantly found in mountainous systems of the Andes range, a hotspot of biodiversity (Madriñán et al. 2013). The present study provided expansions of the altitudinal distribution of C. auricephalus which extends from 1500 m (Aguirre et al. 2017) to 2100 m, and C. auristigma which expands its altitudinal limit in its lowest range to 60 m, as Aguirre et al. (2017) reported this species in Costa Rica at 2600 m. For C. epicaeri and C. puntarenensis, their altitudinal ranges increased to 3170 and 2840, respectively.</p><p>With the reports from Colombia, the distribution gap of C. gasseni is better understood as this species had been reported in the south of Brazil, the eastern region of Paraguay, the northeastern of Argentina, and Costa Rica. Its altitudinal distribution ranges from 4 to 1135 m (Yu et al. 2016; Aguirre et al. 2017). It is possible that the distribution of this species expands further as the models proposed by Walsh et al. 2003, suggest habitats for C. gasseni in the southern United States and the Central-Western region of Mexico.</p><p>The new species Centistes truncatus, C. hemicirculus, C. lobungula, and C. iguaquensis, are distributed in the Andean region, while C. rosae and C. succinum are distributed in the Amazons and Choco. C. lobungula and C. iguaquensis are geographically very close and overlap in their altitudinal range. C. hemicirculus has the more widespread distribution, both altitudinally and latitudinally.</p><p>Willig and Presley (2016) suggested that because the climatic characteristics of the tropical ecosystems, the organisms there are more sensitive to altitudinal gradients which may be linked to changes in temperature, and humidity among other factors. This idea seems to be consistent with studies about development in Centistes species. C . gasseni shows some sensitivity in its pupal and adult stages to desiccation caused by high-temperature, as well as sensitivity to frequent changes in radiation and humidity (Walsh et al. 2003); the development of larvae and pupae of C. diabroticae requires a stable temperature (Smyth &amp; Hoffmann 2010), and C. delusorius demands stable humidity conditions during its pupal phase (Zijp &amp; Blommers 2002).</p><p>The availability of the host must also be considered (Shaw 1988). In this regard, Aguirre et al. (2017) emphasize that Chrysomelidae ( Coleoptera), one of the more common hosts of Centistes, is found mainly in lower altitudes, facilitating the presence of species such as C. epicaeri, C. auristigma, C. auricephalus, C. gasseni, C. truncatus, and C. rosae below 1000 m. The study of the genus biology, particularly regarding its host specialization, will allow for future identification of the factors influencing the altitudinal and latitudinal distribution of the genus Centistes .</p><p>Key to females of genus Centistes in South America</p><p>1.

(2018), Centistes helmuthi sp. nov. keys to couplet 16, where it is most similar to the Costa Rican species C. ornamentum Aguirre, Almeida, and Shaw. These two species are superficially similar in size and coloration; however, they differ quite notably in several distinctive morphological features. The notauli of C. helmuthi are present only as smooth depressions lacking coarse sculpture, whereas in C. ornamentum the notauli are coarsely scrobiculate. The fore wing vein RS of C. helmuthi is well-sclerotized and quite dark over its entire length, whereas this vein is weakly sclerotized and mostly transparent in C. ornamentum (except at the extreme base). The fore wing vein (RS+M)a of C. helmuthi is distinctly sinuate, whereas this vein is straight in C. ornamentum . The hypopygium of C. helmuthi is only sparsely setose and mostly smooth and glabrous, whereas in C. ornamentum the hypopygium ventrally has a well-developed and dense patch of setae (visible in Figure 161 of Aguirre et al. 2017). C. helmuthi sp. nov. is also similar to the Brazilian species, C. grandis sp. nov. sharing that females of both species have well-developed brush-like layers of setae on the fore tarsus, fore coxa ventrally, and mesosternum ventrally. However, these setae are more strongly developed in the Brazilian species C. grandis; they also differ by the well-developed sculptured notauli in the latter.</p><p>Description.
